Q

What happens when a hot substance comes in contact with a cold substance? Why?

A

They reach the same temperature because the heat from the hot object is transferred to the cold object.

15
Q

Heat flows from —– to —– temperatures, resulting in room temperature.

A

Hot, cold

16
Q

How does water behave at 0 degrees C? At 100 degrees C?

A

0 - water freezes

100 - water boils

17
Q

What is the transfer of energy through contact?

A

Conduction

18
Q

Explain how kinetic energy is transferred from particle to particle through conduction.

A

When a solid heats and gains kinetic energy, the particles move more vigorously (faster) and passes its energy to the neighboring particles.

19
Q

What materials are good conductors?

A

Metals, silver, copper

20
Q

What materials are poor conductors?

A

Plastic, glass, wood, fabrics

21
Q

—– are poor conductors and are used in everyday materials.

A

Insulators

22
Q

What is the method by which heat travels through fluids?

A

Convection

23
Q

During convection, —– decreases and —– rises.

—– fluid rises and —– fluid sinks.

A

Density, matter

Hot, cold

24
Q

How are off shore breezes and convection related?

A

The cold air from the land goes to the warmer water. The water warms the air causing it to rise. The cooler air moves in to replace it.

25
Q

What is heat transfer through electromagnetic radiation?

A

Radiation

26
Q

True or False - Infrared rays can travel through the vacuum of space?

A

True

27
Q

What color is best to absorb radiation?

A

Black

28
Q

Which color is best to reflect radiation?

A

White

29
Q

Which material is used best for insulation of radiation?

A

Glass/shiny metal

30
Q

What is the capability of an object to absorb energy in the form of heat for a given increase in temperature?

A

Specific heat

31
Q

Specific heat involves the number of —– of energy per —– of a substance to increase an object one degree —–.

A

Joules, gram, Celsius

32
Q

What is the total amount of heat stored; it is sensitive to size?

A

Thermal capacity
